Being in lockdown has its own effects and right now we are focusing on grabbing as much good time as we can. So, here we are again, bringing you another memory walk down the lane and introducing the brochure of legendary Mitsubishi Pajero SFX. The SUV here indeed was a fantastic piece of work and the rock-solid platform it was built on. Before we go any further you make sure to join our exclusive 91Wheels whats app to know the latest discussion on two and four wheelers and electric vehicles!
We have got our hands on the brochure of Mitsubishi Pajero SFX in a mint condition and it speaks out the statement for SUV. Starting off with its launch in 2008 at a price of Rs 18.80 lakh, it actually brought in a new set of buyers who were looking for some serious off-roading yet bring some sass when they are out boasting with their friends.
Upon its launch, the SUV came with a single 2.8-litre turbocharged intercooler direct injection diesel engine that made 119 bhp at 4,000 rpm with a maximum torque of 292 Nm at 2,000 rpm. Well, some might argue that the power figure was not enough but look at the time mate, it was 2008 and the 7-seater offered not only good looks but great capability at off-roading. The engine was mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Jumping towards its terrain set-up then it used to come with super select four-wheel-drive which offered four different drive modes which were 2H (high range rear-wheel drive), 4H (high range full-time four-wheel drive), 4HLc (high range four-wheel drive with locked central differential) and 4LLc (low range four-wheel drive with locked centre differential). One of the major advantages of this second-generation system was that you can switch between 2H to 4H when you are driving the SUV under 80 km/h. To make the off-roading an easier task, it was the wheel arches which had larger gaps to make sure wheel articulation is handled properly.
Like the exteriors which received a timeless design and gave a to go-anywhere attitude, the interiors too were designed to last for years. By that I mean, it received basic features and once look at the dials made you realised you have travelled back in time. It was not something that you could not live with but then still, an improved design is always appreciated. It received manual HVAC controls and the music system was fitted at a very low position - makes me wonder whether I should focus on enjoying the highways cruising or switch channels and have a backache.

It received brown and beige interior shade with faux wood highlights. The SUV was offered in seven colour options - Navy, Carbon, Graphite, Flame, Deep Purple, Granite and Limestone. The ground clearance of the SUV was recorded at 205 mm and it came with wider 265/70 R15 tubeless tyres. The SUV was short-lived and was discontinued in 2012 and Mitsubishi introduced a newer model, Pajero Sport in the country.
